Aprilynne Pike has contributed to three anthologies over a six-year span, from Pitch Dark in 2012 to Life Inside My Mind in 2018. The first two collections, Pitch Dark and Defy the Dark, arrived in back-to-back years and share a thematic thread in their titles, both playing on the idea of darkness.
Life Inside My Mind came five years later in 2018 and moved in a different direction, with its title pointing toward something more introspective. For readers familiar with Pike’s novel-length work, these shorter anthology pieces offer a look at her writing in a different format and context.
